Who Cares?

Never Lost

I must admit that there are times when I felt God has abandoned me. You probably have felt the same. Because of the severity of our trials, we sometimes think God has forgotten about us. I have had many prayers that say, “God, are you there?” Psalms 139: 7-12 “I can never escape from your […]

How You Can Recover From Disappointments

We all have something in common. We all have experienced disappointments. They come to us in many ways. Sometimes disappointment comes through an email, or a text message. When they come, you can’t believe what you’re reading. It can be a phone call from your doctor – you went in for a simple test, but […]

A Christmas Message

This is something true that we don’t really want to talk about. When a baby is born, we know that it will die. It might be in a day, or it might be 100 years. Eventually, every child will die. That is part of birth that we don’t like to acknowledge. It is part of […]

Little Moments

Last Tuesday night, I went to the Los Angeles airport to pick up my wife and son David from their week long vacation trip in New Jersey. I knew they will be both hungry by the time they arrive so I decided to go to David’s favorite, the In n Out restaurant, famous for its […]

Finding Grace in Failures

Through the years, we all learn important lessons. There is something I wish to share that has encouraged me and I think will greatly help you, too. I have learned that God will often let us fail out there for some very good reasons. I have learned that whenever I fall short, there is always […]

Encourage Someone Today

Recently, I have seen how life can be a struggle for many. Whatever it is that challenges us, we all know that it helps a lot when we hear words of encouragement. I have learned that there is no exception – we all take knocks in life. Yet the best things in life often come […]

Tension

Tension. Do you feel it? Tension exists in the Bible. We feel and live it every day. The fact that God called his creation each day as “good” simply shows that there are things in the world that are not good. At the same time, God called many things good. The earth. Life. Marriage. The […]

Refugees, Strangers…

Sometimes I get asked on who my favorite child is. Of course, we love our children equally. However, we do get misunderstood from time to time. Let me explain. As a parent of four children, when one of my kids is in pain or in crisis, it is not at all difficult for my wife […]

Sometimes I Don’t Feel Like Biking…

Why is it that some early Tuesday mornings as I wake up, my legs feel weak, my head feels groggy, and my eyelids are droopy. I have all kinds of reasons why I shouldn’t bike. I say to myself, “I don’t feel like biking today.” These are excuses that can keep me in bed and […]

Feeling Hopeless?

Growing up, I had this mistaken idea that real men don’t cry. Well, I don’t agree with that anymore. There are times in my life where I find myself crying in the middle of the night. Most of these are actually talking to God after the midnight hours. I have cried out a few times […]
